The 36-year-old, who lives in Bramley, Hampshire, contacted Amazon, claiming the driver had advertised her home as empty to potential burglars.

She was told the driver had been ‘retrained’, but the problem has continued over the last few weeks.

Lou said: ‘I really do believe that he is taunting me now. I think the delivery driver thinks that because he is getting away with it he is going to keep on doing it.

‘It’s getting beyond a joke, they are completely taking the mick.

‘I haven’t ordered anything else from them since the last incident. I have had £500 worth of Christmas presents in my basket for months but because of the driver’s incompetence I won’t be ordering from Amazon.

‘The parcels could be stolen from my door handle and then my kids would have nothing for Christmas.’

She said her husband John, 41, spotted the man and confronted him – only for the driver to run away.

She added: ‘My husband heard someone messing with the front door and when he opened it the delivery driver was stood at the door trying to tie the parcel on to the door handle, without even ringing the bell.

‘When my husband confronted him, he told us that the doorbell wasn’t working, first of all he could have just knocked on the door.

‘However, the doorbell is really sensitive and when my husband went to ring it to check it worked. We tried to explain to the driver that the door handle isn’t a safe place but he ran off.’

The recruitment consultant said the problems began in the middle of October when she returned home to find the missed delivery slip at head height on her door.

An Amazon spokesperson said: ‘We take complaints of this nature seriously and have high standards for our independent delivery service providers. We have reached out to the customer and offered our support. The matter is being investigated.’
